The Oxford Guide to Treaties Summary

The Oxford Guide to Treaties by Duncan B. Hollis (Professor of Law and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, Professor of Law and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, Temple University Beasley School of Law)

From trade relations to greenhouse gases, from shipwrecks to cybercrime, treaties structure the rights and obligations of states, international organizations, and individuals. For centuries, treaties have regulated relations among nation states. Today, they are the dominant source of international law. Thus, being adept with treaties and international agreements is an indispensable skill for anyone engaged in international relations, including international lawyers, diplomats, international organization officials, and representatives of non-governmental organizations. The Oxford Guide to Treaties provides a comprehensive guide to treaties, shedding light on the rules and practices surrounding the making, interpretation, and operation of these instruments. Leading experts provide essays designed to introduce the law of treaties and offer practical insights into how treaties actually work. Foundational issues are covered, including what treaties are and when they should be used, alongside detailed analyses of treaty formation, application, interpretation, and exit. Special issues associated with treaties involving the European Union and other international organizations are also addressed. These scholarly treatments are complimented by a set of model treaty clauses. Real examples illustrate the approaches treaty-makers can take on topics such as entry into force, languages, reservations, and amendments. The Oxford Guide to Treaties thus provides an authoritative reference point for anyone studying or involved in the creation or interpretation of treaties or other forms of international agreement.

The Oxford Guide to Treaties Reviews

The Oxford Guide to Treaties is an impressive work. It will beyond doubt constitute an essential point of reference for scholars, practitioners and students seeking expert guidance on issues relating to the law of treaties. * Maria Xiouri, International Community Law Review *
The Oxford Guide to Treaties brings clarity to a topic of central importance to policymakers, practicing attorneys, and a wide range of academics. Comprehensive in its scope, and equally valuable both to those coming to treaties for the first time and to those who have spent many years poring over texts, the Oxford Guide provides the reader with detailed explanations of the key rules and issues that mark contemporary international treaty law and practice. With contributions from leading scholars and practitioners, and expertly edited, the Oxford Guide will serve as the authoritative reference volume in this field for years to come. * ASIL Award Citation *
The Oxford Guide to Treaties fills some important voids ... The Guide forms an excellent starting point for further research on such grand topics as interpretation, while some chapters on the narrower issues are so complete that the practitioner will find all she needs ... useful point of (first) reference for both practitioners and academics. * Tim Staal, European Journal of International Law *
